But the FOR command only works on the one command, not on a second command in the same batch file. So, for example, you can process a bunch of ereader files, naming the directories the same as the original file, but all of them will be called book.html, which means more work to change those names before converting to another format (such as using mobicreator). Sure, you could move all the originals out when done - but if you are downloading more while the batch file is running, they can be skipped; using two batch files both ensures this doesn't happen and lets you rename that book.html file that gets created (as well as do anything else you want to do).
If using mobidedrm, you must either name the new file with a variation of the original name use a combo of two directories in the one command (which can be a bit trickier to do, but it is possible. It is just easier to use two commands.
A side benefit of the two commands - you can call the "fix" command at the command line and watch what it does, which can help with debugging, and it runs all the steps for one book. A "fixall" command then only needs the for loop in it and you can then drop a shortcut on the desktop. Once set up, the end user need know nothing (the batch files could also copy the files to a reader (if plugged in or nteworked ) or send them via email, providing you have the write expertise and software to set this up, having them magically appear on a reader with just a single click, after downloading to the correct directory on the desktop.

To convert an ePUB to mobi download the latest version of the Windows Mobipocket Reader and then you can simply drag the epub file to the reader icon.

I'll give the reader another shot - the version I have claims to do that, but looks pretty bad when you do. Does it create a PRC or MOBI file or just copy the epub into it's directory (not that I could not look it up, I'm just being lazy)
